I work full‑time, but I make plenty of room in my schedule for pet care. I’m available every morning before 8am, mid‑day during my lunch break, and in the evenings and nights. I’m also available 7 days a week, so whether you need early walks, drop‑ins, or evening/overnight care, I can reliably fit your pet into my routine.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I follow all of their normal schedules, including feeding times, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and bedtime habits, so everything feels consistent for them. I treat your home with respect by keeping things clean, washing bowls, tidying up after pets, and following any house rules you set. I give each pet plenty of attention based on their personality—whether that means playtime, cuddles, or calm companionship—and I’m comfortable handling special instructions like medications, senior care, puppy routines, or specific behavioral needs. I also send regular updates, photos, and quick check‑ins so you always know how your pet is doing. For overnight stays, I maintain their nighttime routine and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for the entire time.

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m 27 years old and have spent the last 12 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also have two dogs of my own, so I fully understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m experienced with: Daily walks and exercise routines In‑home sitting and overnight stays Drop‑ins for feeding, playtime, and check‑ins Puppies, seniors, and pets with special instructions Administering basic medications and following detailed care plans Whether your pet needs a long walk, a cozy overnight stay, or just a quick check‑in, my goal is to give you total peace of mind and give your pet a safe, fun, and comfortable experience every time.

Matt was amazing with my dog! He took great care of them, kept me updated, and clearly treated my dog like his own. I felt totally comfortable and at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. Matt is reliable, kind, and truly loves animals — I wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great sitter.

Highly recommend Matt as a pet sitter & dog walker. He is incredibly responsible and dependable. He treats every dog as if they were his own and genuinely enjoys spending time with them, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just making sure they feel safe and loved. Any pet parent would be lucky to have Matt caring for their dog, and I would trust him without hesitation.

Matthew has been an absolute lifesaver for us and our pets. From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how patient, attentive, and genuinely caring he is with animals. He kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned. Matthew goes above and beyond, and it’s obvious he treats every pet like his own. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable sitter on Rover.

Matt has been caring for our dogs in our home for the last five years. He is a very responsible young man with a passion to make some extra money. He is a very caring person and is very mature. He will not be disappoint you, and your dogs will love him. Also, he is a great communicator.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
